And with that........... a resounding...... NOPE!

Like Bell used to say long ago, if you have an $888 head, wear an $888 helmet. There's been inflation, ya know.

Pretty neat! Too expensive for my $150 head.

Well, I'm not buying an $800 helmet but I like the idea. Seems to open easily and the demonstrator had on a set of medium thick gloves.

how many good ideas never take off because the initial asking price is too high? This may be one of them.

Is that US or Aussie Dollars?

1 AUD = 0.71 USD

If so, $888 AUD X .71 = $630.48 USD.

many more video on youtube. i am not sure if AU$ or US$

It's AUS $, so it will be approx. US $640

4 more days to find out. It could be US$ as much as AU$, there is no telling. I had the impression it was meant to be an international ad. If it was, it's US$ price.

concept of diminishing returns: "the more you spend, the less you get"

was once offered to me by a HS teacher when talking about audio equipment.

- when you have nothing, and buy a cheap transistor radio, the increase in audio quality is 100%.
- when you upgrade to a "stereo", you pay a lot more, but the audio quality percentage increase isn't as high.

that trend of increasing cost opposite diminishing returns continues.

I'm not gonna be the guy that op tests a new style of helmet. Pioneering doesn't sound quite right in safety equipment.

If the design really does work, and becomes popular, then it will be available from multiple manufacturers pretty quickly. I would definitely be interested in something like this, but not at $650.

A $200 (US) helmet protects the same as any helmet, regardless of price.

So the only interest I would have in this helmet is how much, if any, improvement in wind noise it may have and comfort, since it has no chin strap.
It is like no other helmet on the market, so that alone has me interested in seeing a road test evaluation.

for those of us who wear glasses... doesn't seem like the rear-entry would work very well.

With a traditional full face design helmet, I put the helmet on, then put eyeglasses on through the face port. This is no hassle. I'd expect the rear design entry would work the same way.

You obviously didn't watch the videos... One of them shows the helmet being put on and taken off with glasses on the subject. It seemed to work perfectly.
